ACTIVITY
1. Describe the problem, the people affected and the constraints. Sketch two possible solutions.

2. Choose a design and record why you selected it. List what you need to build it.

3. Plan a fair test. Write what you will measure, then record what actually happened.

4. Change one part of the design. Repeat the test and explain whether the change helped.
